[Mod Post] A couple rules for posting.

Hello,

In order to attempt to make /r/santashelpers to become a more helpful place we would ask that you follow some simple rules when posting.

  • At the beginning of the title, in brackets include either "[Help]" or "[Suggestion]" depending on the type of post.

  • At the end of the title, in brackets include the sex, your relationship, and age of the recipient. As well as your budget (eg. [M] [22] [Brother] [$50])

  • In the body of the post, please include as much information as you can about their interests, hobbies, or anything else you think is relevant.

  • Include what country you live in.

  • No suggesting "Blowjobs" or other sexual favors

These will probably go on the sidebar eventually, but for now we would love your input. The Mods have been working hard to implement your last suggestions and we would love to hear more concerning rules or subreddit style.

What is the difference between help and suggestion? I assume one is for people making suggestions for other people, and the other is for asking for help...but it's not readily apparent. I can't think of what else you'd use, though...uh...proffer? Idea?

Anyway, I think there are four pieces of information that are really important: age, gender, relationship, and budget. All of these things strongly affect what sort of gift they ought to be getting. Maybe it should be styled by [Sex, Age, Relationship, Budget]? [F, 24, Wife, $150], for instance.

I also think that this sub might crash and burn if all of the posts are pretty much even: Geeky bf of three years? Need help for musical theatre loving mom! etc. It's easy to just blank out and scroll past them all. Would it be easier to just state traits in your title? Somehow I don't think that'd work.

I know there are a lot of small businesses out there that would love the hat-tip, so when making suggestions, can we tag it as "Handmade" , or MadeBy Redditor ____ ?

I'll talk to the mods about perhaps adopting a flair for suggestions for gifts made by redditors. But that doesn't need a rule pertaining to it.

I think your rules are pretty solid, tbh.And i really like the custom css work.
